The project has already accumulated 42,000 public submissions covering everyday issues in sectors like housing, public transit, and healthcare. Organizers plan to refine these entries by publishing 1,000 concepts and turning 200 into thoroughly researched policy proposals. Notably, a cross-party panel spanning from the Green Party to Reform UK must reach unanimous agreement to select roughly 50 final ideas. Public submissions remain open on the initiative's official website until November 12.

The spark for this happened just over a year ago, when I spoke at Politico’s fringe event at Labour’s conference. The key discussion was about Keir Starmer’s unpopularity. I was asked what I’d have advised the government when it took power, so I said: “Come up with 100 small things that piss people off and that you can fix, and they can see that you have fixed them.” Then I reeled off a list of small fixes for my subject area: the counterproductive way council tax debt is escalated; renaming “tax-free childcare”; and so on.

Cairo initiated the dispatch of air defense systems, aircraft, and personnel several months ago following an escalation between Riyadh and Iran. Egyptian lawmakers retroactively authorized the defensive mission on October 26 by meeting the constitutional two-thirds majority requirement.

This political confrontation intensifies scrutiny over the historical governance choices made in the immediate aftermath of Indira Gandhi's assassination.
